Development of a Molten Carbonate Process for Removal of Sulfur Dioxide from Power Plant Stack Gases.

摘要

The results of the progress development work accomplished on the use of a molten carbonate process to remove SO(x) from power plant gas streams are reported here. The development program for the report period concentrated on: Obtaining additional data on the performance of filters to remove fly ash from the molten salt stream;Studying the effectiveness of mist elimination pads to remove entrained salt from the gas stream exiting from the scrubber;Continuing the materials test program; Completing the design of a materials test loop;Cooperating and assisting Singmaster and Breyer in their evaluation of the process; Completing preliminary engineering analyses of the two region molten carbonate reducer and the generator;and Revising the material and energy balances for 800and 10Mw plants. The results of the work on each of these topics are described. (Author)
